All the stereotypes about western Sydney were covered last week when Prime Minister Julia Gillard鈥檚 visited dozens of electorates in the area to try to stop them switching their vote to the Liberals in September鈥檚 federal election.
She spoke about being tough on foreign workers, promising 鈥淎ussie鈥 jobs for 鈥淎ussie鈥 workers, using rhetoric about 鈥渜ueue jumpers鈥 borrowed from the asylum seeker debate. She also promised to build a new WestConnex motorway that would connect western Sydney to the CBD.
